Reply.io **Free tier:** 200 searches/month **Account:** maxjasonweber@gmail.com **Tested:** mggroup.co.nz **Result:** ❌ "No options" - zero NZ coverage **Why it failed:** - Database focused on USA/Europe only - No results for New Zealand companies - Waste of time for PHT's target markets **Verdict:** Do not use for NZ/AU/SA enrichment --- ### 2. GetProspect **Free tier:** 50 searches/month **Attempted signup:** maxjasonweber@gmail.com (Google OAuth) **Result:** ❌ Phone verification broken (detected wrong country code) **Why it failed:** - Phone verification required but buggy (detected Russia +7 instead of USA +1) - Could not complete signup - Not worth troubleshooting when Snov.io already works **Verdict:** Skip - Snov.io is better --- ## πŸ”§ OTHER TOOLS IN USE ### Hunter.io (Email Verification) **Status:** ⚠️ Monthly search limit reached (Feb 15) **Cost:** $49/month **API key:** fda853... (stored securely) **Best for:** Domain searches + email verification **Issue:** Exhausted free tier searching for NZ contacts **Recommendation:** Keep for email verification only (not primary contact finder) --- ### Apollo.io (Company Enrichment) **Status:** ⚠️ Free tier - no contact data access **API key:** nrTE8f... (stored securely) **Best for:** Company info (revenue, employees, LinkedIn, address) **Issue:** Free tier doesn't provide contact-level data (names, emails, phones) **Tested on:** NZ enrichment (99 companies) - worked great for company data **Speed:** 12 minutes for 99 companies via API **Recommendation:** - Keep free tier for company-level enrichment only - Use Snov.io for contact-level data instead of upgrading Apollo ($49/mo) --- ### Apify (Google Maps Scraping) **Status:** βœ… Working **Cost:** $29/month (already subscribed) **Best for:** Finding new companies via Google Maps searches **Use case:** "apple storage [country]" searches to discover facilities **Recommendation:** Keep - still useful for finding NEW companies to add to list --- ### Instantly.ai (Email Outreach) **Status:** βœ… Working **Cost:** $97/month **Accounts:** 5 warmed email accounts ready **Best for:** Sending cold email campaigns once contacts are enriched **Recommendation:** Keep - needed for outreach after enrichment complete --- ## πŸ’° COST COMPARISON | Tool | Cost | Credits/Month | Cost per Contact | NZ Coverage | |------|------|---------------|------------------|-------------| | **Snov.io** | FREE | 50 | $0.00 | βœ… Excellent | | Reply.io | FREE | 200 | $0.00 | ❌ None | | GetProspect | FREE | 50 | N/A | ⏸️ Couldn't test | | Hunter.io | $49 | 1,000 | $0.049 | ⚠️ Limited | | Apollo.io (Basic) | $49 | 900 mobile | $0.054 | βœ… Good (company only) | | Lusha | $39 | 40 | $0.975 | Unknown | | RocketReach | $39 | 170 | $0.229 | Unknown | | Clearbit | $99 | Unlimited | Variable | Unknown | --- ## 🎯 RECOMMENDED STACK ### For NZ/AU/UK/Canada/SA Enrichment: 1. **Snov.io** (FREE) - Primary contact finder 2. **Apollo.io** (FREE tier) - Company enrichment only 3. **Apify** ($29/mo) - Finding new companies ### For USA Enrichment (3,178 companies): 1. **Snov.io** (50 free credits = 25 companies/month) 2. **Consider upgrading Snov.io** to paid plan if needed: - Trial plan: 100 searches = $39/mo - Starter: 1,000 searches = $39/mo - Pro: 5,000 searches = $99/mo **Estimated cost for 3,178 USA companies Γ— 3 contacts = 9,534 contacts:** - At 50 free/month = 191 months (not viable) - At Pro plan (5,000/mo) = 2 months @ $99/mo = $198 total --- ## πŸ“Š CURRENT PROGRESS **Total Prospects:** 2,939 companies across 9 countries ### Fully Enriched (Company + Contacts): - NZ: 99 companies (17/30 contacts found via free web scraping) - AU: 212 companies βœ… (company data only) - SA: 299 companies βœ… (company data only) ### Partially Enriched (Company data only): - USA: 3,178 companies - Canada: 329 companies - UK: 264 companies - Others: 228 companies ### Next Steps: 1.
